Chapter 166 Eagles Siege the City
After recruiting a very good little arrow hero, all the other four buddies were eliminated...
A dark night man has no highlights; one can tell at a glance that he is a low-level monster hero, and there is no highlights; one is a lizard cavalry hero, or a man; the last one is a mummy hero, forget him...
Lin Tian was running with all his might. He was specifically directed in this direction. The thief he arranged had already heard news that the Giant Stone Pass was under attack and was about to fall...
Sid is a heroic commander of the National Defense Forces and the supreme commander of the National Defense Forces guarding Jushi Pass!
He actually knew very well that his small army, which had only more than 4,000 people left, seemed to have been abandoned by the adults... He did not believe that this was His Majesty's decision, because he knew that His Majesty the King was fighting fiercely with the undead on the northern front, and he probably had no time to take care of this side. This was probably the cheating order given by the officials and men in the royal capital!
He cursed in his heart, but the commander who had received short-term education in the military academy and had some military qualities knew in his heart that if he was these officials, he might have issued the same order! The reason is not complicated. If the orcs break through the giant stone pass, then they will be flat after the past. As soon as these orcs surge in, they may have to be defended in some strong cities, and the civilians will basically be seriously injured.
This army of my own is like the wooden wedges on the shipboard destined to be decayed and nailed to leak, nailed here firmly until they are all eliminated... just to allow the people behind to get more evacuation time and more opportunities to accumulate troops!
Sid accepted this task and did not regret it! Even if he knew that his ending might not be too beautiful, he didn't feel any regret. Soldiers! If you don't push up at this time, do you have to run away in panic behind? It's a pity! After this battle, you may no longer be able to serve Your Majesty...
The ones siege outside the city were not the enemy's army, and the orcs' infantry did not move quickly. What came were their fast reaction troops, large groups of wolf cavalry, and the eagle troops flying in the air...
These enemy quick response troops may have received the command of the commander, and the light cavalry left the brigade and aimed directly at the Giant Rock Pass; but unexpectedly, they encountered more than 5,000 human defense forces defended the pass; these troops, who were known for their speed, immediately launched a siege battle that they were not good at!
In this kind of close-killing siege battle, these orcs were at a disadvantage. They had to give up their speed advantage and fight head-on with human warriors. Fortunately, they were not only fast, but also had high combat quality; the wolf cavalry, who had always liked assault, began to fight auxiliary forces, but instead the flying eagle troops started to attack the main attack!
You should know that the Giant Stone Pass is indeed a majestic pass! Its city wall is more than 10 meters below the ground, and the absolute thickness of the city wall is even more outrageous. Four carriages can be allowed to move forward side by side on the top of the city wall. Below the level is a moat with live water, an average of more than 3 meters wide; on both sides of the giant straight wall of more than 1,000 meters, people lose their desire to climb, and the steep cliff...
If the 5,000 Eaglemen troops were not present, the werewolf leader would not have his precious cavalry used as cannon fodder! He stared at the Eaglemen flying everywhere on the battlefield. This was really a beautiful group of warriors! It would be better to call them Birdman than to say that they were called Eaglemen...
Except for their particularly tall noses and a little bit of eagle hook, these eagles actually look the same as ordinary humans, but have a pair of huge gray or white wings. It is said that in their clan, the color of their wings is generally used to distinguish the identity level.
Most of the group of eagle warriors in front of them are melee warriors holding thin swords or scimitars, and some hold long spears; only a few guys can carry arrows on their backs to perform air shooting. There are extremely few eagle archers. This is because the air shooting is very affected by the air current and it is difficult to maintain sufficient accuracy. But the most important thing is that although God gave them wings, they are not powerful enough!
Flying at low altitudes, sprinting at a short time can be done, but carrying weight will seriously affect their agility. Either bring more equipment to reduce their high maneuverability, or streamline their equipment as much as possible and maintain their highest speed. All the hawks face this multiple-choice question, without exception!
Eagle archers, this is the product of a difficult choice. Since you have to carry a large number of bows and arrows, at least 30 pieces in a pot, right? Plus the powerful big bows, these will have a serious impact on rapid flight. How can it be compared with warriors who only equip a scimitar? These archers are often treasures in the army, and then, the slowest guy...
There is also a kind of advanced warrior who can equip a spear with two short spears on his back, and more or less have a little long-range attack ability; these should be considered strong and well-developed chest muscles and wings.
The wolf cavalrymen who were acting as feint attacks accelerated to the vicinity of the moat and flew a shot, attracting a large number of long-range attacks, and then quickly escaped...
It was not until this time that the defensive human warriors discovered that the deadly attack turned out to be from the air...
He followed the wolf cavalry and used the smoke from the front as a cover. After approaching the city wall, the large group of eagles began to use the speed of starting, and then flapped their wings and took off the air...
Sid immediately ordered the archers to give up the current wolf cavalry and immediately attack the Eagle warriors who were taking off. After the order was issued, a large number of bows and arrows fell in the air, shooting down many unlucky Eagles!
After these eagles have the ability to fly maneuver, they actually have many fatal weaknesses! The most important thing is that they are almost unable to equip armor protection and relatively weak wings. They are the enemies that long-range troops are most afraid of because they have fatal air raid capabilities. At the same time, they are also troops that are only afraid of long-range attacks... It seems unreasonable, but it is very normal in fact!
Seeing these terrible enemies, their defenses were so vulnerable, the defensive forces on the city wall worked even harder... Many eagles were shot down, and they didn't know how to live or die!
But the good times were not constant, and the opponent's counterattack was coming soon! The 10-meter-high city wall is no less than a natural barrier for melee troops! But for the flying eagle man, it is just the concept of slapping his wings a few more times.
Many of them did not climb to the high place, but rushed directly to the city wall from the low place! You should know that although they have the advantage of rising to a higher position, it takes more time. I am afraid that more people will be hit by long-range strikes. It is better to rush up directly. Some unlucky guys may be hit directly in the vital parts like moths to the flames; but more Hawk soldiers rushed into the defensive forces that were trying to shoot!
